As Atticus opened his eyes, he was t with the sights of the familiar campgrounds.
He had spent quite a lot of ti at the academy's main campus, so most of his division mbers had already returned to camp.
The area was bustling with different youths all strolling about.
Atticus turned, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as he saw that he couldn't find Aurora standing in the area at all.
"Hmm… is she not back yet?" Atticus was a little surprised to see that Aurora wasn't in her usual spot, anticipating his arrival.
Many might find this thought to be very narcissistic, but Atticus, who knew Aurora very well, didn't think it was.
The girl might act like she didn't care, but Atticus knew just how soft-hearted she was.
"That's right, her mood was odd," Atticus suddenly rembered his last interaction with her. She had been abnormally moody. "Shit, I almost forgot,"
Atticus berated himself for forgetting. Before he left the academy, he had resolved to find out the cause of Aurora's actions.
"She should be in her room," Atticus swiftly started walking through the camp towards the barracks.
The other division mbers who saw Atticus as he moved all gave their usual characteristic bow as a show of respect, and after a few seconds, he finally reached the barracks.
'Damn, I don't know where her room is,' since he had bought this building, Atticus hadn't even bothered to visit the rooms of the others. They had always been the ones visiting him.
Atticus clicked on his artifact and swiftly consulted the oracle, and after a few seconds, he was standing at the front of her door.
Atticus clicked on the doorbell in the terminal beside the wall, and he imdiately got scanned. But despite waiting for a few seconds, there was no response.
Just when Atticus was about to push it once more, a face suddenly materialized on top of the terminal on the side of the door.
"What do you want?" Aurora's voice sounded.
Although her words had sounded dismissive, her tone was soft.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Atticus asked with a slight chuckle. He just couldn't understand why Aurora was acting this way.
"It's nothing! Don't worry about it," Aurora said dismissively.
But Atticus simply gave her a deep, long stare, one that she was able to recognize even though they were speaking through a terminal.
He wasn't going to let this matter go.
Aurora's display on the terminal suddenly sighed softly. She then mumbled incoherent words under her breath that even Atticus, with his incredible senses, wasn't able to catch.
"What the hell did you say?" Atticus inquired.
"I said it's a lady's thing!" Aurora suddenly scread in response, her face imdiately flushing red in embarrassnt.
"Lady's stuff?…" Atticus still wasn't quite understanding what she was talking about.
"You clueless fool!" Aurora scread, then she lowered her voice and stamred,
"nstru…" Aurora didn't seem able to complete that word. Her face turned beet red, and it seed as though white fus were streaming out of her ears.
But Aurora didn't even need to complete her words. Just the ntion of the first part was enough to make Atticus finally figure out what was happening.
Atticus's mouth opened wide, mouthing an 'oh'. It truly was a lady's thing.
'Damn, even I know how stupid this sounds, but I never would have expected won in Eldoralth also nstruate like those back on earth.'
Atticus was slightly shocked. He had never noticed this particular kind of thing before.
They had mana and their bodies healed passively, so should they even be feeling pain? Atticus couldn't help but wonder.
He sure as hell knew Anastasia would be able to hide it from him, but why was he just noticing Aurora's? Atticus shook his head, thinking of too much trivial stuff.
"Are you okay?" Atticus inquired with a hint of concern. 'They call the pain cramps, right?' Atticus rembered the na females back on earth use to refer to the pain nstruation brings.
"I'll be fine. I just need a little rest," Aurora softly responded.
Atticus was a little relieved that the matter wasn't as serious as he had expected.
After speaking with Aurora for a few minutes, Atticus quickly made a journey to the ss hall and got a tray of food. Then he brought it back and handed it to Aurora.
And then, after telling Aurora to get enough food and sleep, Atticus left the room and imdiately started heading towards the caves to train.
He had learned an important skill today and he wanted to test and see every possible option that he could utilize it for.
But he didn't forget to unleash his usual massacre on the beasts in the forest, earning him another truckload of points.
After a few monts, Atticus got to the caves and imdiately started his training.
And during the training, Atticus found out a few things about his newfound power.
Focusing his will outside of his body, Atticus could control the surrounding mana and shape and manipulate it however he wanted.
How powerful and sturdy his creations were depended on how high his will was.
Utilizing Aerokinesis, Atticus could not only empower himself by enveloping himself in the mixture of wills and mana, he could also form anything with the mana in the air.
Jared had only created mana barriers during their spar, but Atticus discovered that he could make even more than that.
He could mold the mana into anything he wanted and attack with said thing. The possibilities were nurous!
Attempting to battle the shadow seraphon without utilizing his elents and life weapons' art, Atticus used only Aerokinesis and his passive bodily strength.
Atticus discovered that he was only a bit slower and weaker than the beast, and this was crazy given the fact that Atticus was still at the Expert rank!
The power-up was staggering!
Imdiately Atticus used the katana art and Aerokinesis together. It was as if the world around him changed as his form felt remarkably surreal.
The boost was staggering.
